Professional association of research libraries in Europe
The Association of European Research Libraries (Ligue des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherche or LIBER) is a professional association of national and university research libraries in Europe. As of 2018 its membership includes some 400 organizations. It operates as a Dutch foundation, with headquarters in the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague.[1]
Overview
The origin of LIBER sprang from a 1968 meeting of the International Federation of Library Associations.[2] Among its founders was Swiss librarian Jean-Pierre Clavel [fr].[1]
LIBER held its first conference in Strasbourg in 1971, and continues meeting annually. Its 2018 conference will take place in Lille.[3] The group also publishes an open access journal about librarianship, LIBER Quarterly.[4]
